Getting the gauges done

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

how much did u pay for ur gauges? maybe I should get a set of these instead of the cable x

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Like 350 or so

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

oh maybe not then...a cable x box is 280 bucks

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Let us know how your speedometer works with your computer or transmission

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Will do man, bbq'ing and beer, might be tomorrow before I'm done tho lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

need some help guys, i got my gauges in and went to instal them and i need a adapter fitting, does anyone know the exact part number of the fitting? or if i can use one out of another vehicle? really want these gauges in soon!!! after these are done i can actually drive my truck!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

chicken stuffed with sausage wrapped in bacon....was freakin awesome!!!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

you wanna tell us WHICH fitting? Like, adapting WHAT to WHAT?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Duh...wow can't believe I missed that the fitting in the back of the head, for the temp gauge, I got the temp sending unit with my gauges, but the fittings they got don't work, I seen some adapter fittings that should work, I also seen where some guys just use a different sending unit...wow my dumb moment was right there

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

When my gauges go in this is what they'll look like

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Anything on the sending unit/fitting?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

no tach?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Someday funds don't allow it at the moment

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

well just ordered the fitting for the temp gauge, 20 bucks shipped...would have been cheaper but i want it sooner than later!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Keep it going!! You're doing a great job!! I'm doing a ls swap into my 87 GMC 4x4!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Thanks man, I was just talking with another member yesterday, but the drive is there just not the motovation, I'm gonna get my but out there and get it done today

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Dont loose motivation!! If you do read over some other peoples build threads or watch some ls swap videos and get pumped up!! I am always pumped up about my swap just wish I had more time to get on it!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I agree man, I been at it for over two months almost nonstop I have been able to putt it around so after lunch I'm going out there and gonna get her done

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Got the gauges in and working, gotta recalibrate the speedo but it works, looks pretty good in there I think

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Looks jam up! Just need a tach.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Thanks man, it was kinda frustrating

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Trust me I know!! I've had my cluster out about 15 times! I actually added an older style tach/fuel gauge combo to mine a few months ago.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

15? thats it?....i wish that was all i had my cluster out....lol i can pull that thing out in like 1 minute now lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Yup it takes no time! I pull it out to adjust my drac mod when I change tire sizes and when I swapped the 91 gauges in and when I added the tach.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Do you haqve any pics?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far

Thanks, did not mean to hijack your thread

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

hey u said u used zip ties to secure the pcm?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

ya i used, I'm going to put another one on the back of it, its doing some rattling around in there and i can here it, if i can't get a zip tie in there I'm going to clamp it down

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

how big of a zip tie did u use? I need to secure mine

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

it was one of the big ones, about a 1/4 inch wide or so...do you think that is a little close to your hood springs?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

you doing dbw?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I checked the clearance today n its good...I cant move the pcm too much as the wiring is kinda short so where its at there in da pic is as far as I could put it. im running dbc

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

still tryin figure out how to mount my fuse block too

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

alright cool, if dbw was there i was wondering where your tac module was gonna go...
